ciderbeans Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Just putting 2 and 2 together but Newcastle are submitting a bid for deli alli. I wonder if Newcastle will loan them rolando Aaron's in return as part of the deal? He's a left wing forward, young, exciting and not getting game time atm. Would be distraught as I wouldn't mind him back at city rather than go to a tinpot franchise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Coming "down" would suggest a club north of them so probably not some of the ones mentioned on here from Arsenal, Watford etc. Or is on Cold Turkey ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 He wasn't referring to Keith Andrew was he, I saw they were trying to get him but needed to do a deal with Watford on wages. He's hardly showstopping though is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Coming "down" would suggest a club north of them so probably not some of the ones mentioned on here from Arsenal, Watford etc. Not necessarily from the North. The use of the words up and down were started by railway companies to signify the direction of journey. Thus any train going to London was termed "Up" and coming out of London as "Down". When London was not a destination, the largest city/town became the " Up" destination. As Milton Keynes is on a direct route to/from London, the player coming down, could be from a London club.

cottsciderarmy Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 They have just signed Devante Cole on loan until the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireSection Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Devante Cole has potential, Benik Afobe was realising his with plenty of goals, I'm not overly worried by this signing. MK are definitely a weaker prospect than a few months back, that's at least one rival weakened, someone needs to come in and upset the apple cart at Swindon now and we should be sorted!

DippyDon Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Any Alli sale will be made with a loan back option or be rejected And as for Afobe, he had only scored about 2 goals before he came to MK and half of his goals for us came in the cup, a much smaller loss than people expect tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Pedant alert, Pedant alert, Pedant alert, Pedant alert, Wow! Is that me? I thought I was being helpful. But in the light of the news that Devante Cole has been signed, then obviously the Scouse manager of MK has just shown his ignorance of the true meanings of up and down. ( thinking about it with Manchester and MK, then MK is down from Manchester, being the less important of the two?) By the way Port Said Red, shall I now start trying to correct all the bad grammar? Like the use of "should of" instead of the correct "should HAVE". Then I would be really boring and pedantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many goals did he score this season? Stop putting a brave face on it. I would be gutted if we lost someone like Afobe and picked up Cole.

DippyDon Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 He scored a lot of goals yes, but in the league Alli had more than him and Grigg was 2 behind, now we have Clarke-Harris and potentially another striker coming in (Cole isn't official yet) we could be stronger than we were with Afobe, remember he had only scored a couple of goals in every loan spell beforehand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on twitter with your local papers reporting it. Most local papers don't report things like that unless it's done and dusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this forum should continue to try and improve the use of English by it's participants, we could even put a filter in to stop people finishing their sentences with a preposition (as I have done there) or is that going too far?

Harry Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 He scored a lot of goals yes, but in the league Alli had more than him and Grigg was 2 behind, now we have Clarke-Harris and potentially another striker coming in (Cole isn't official yet) we could be stronger than we were with Afobe, remember he had only scored a couple of goals in every loan spell beforehand Afobe scored 18 goals for you this year, 11 in the league. That's 61% of his goals coming in the league (not less than half as you state). 1,260 minutes played, 11 starts, 11 sub appearances, 11 goals. Scored in 8 different matches. That's 36% of your matches he scored in. 1 goal every 114 mins. Grigg has 8 league goals, in 13 starts, 10 subs. 1163 minutes, averaging a goal every 145 minutes. Scoring in 29% of your matches. Seems to me Afobe has scored in more matches, in fewer starts and scores much more frequently. Meanwhile, Devante Cole has started 14 games, 4 subs, and scored just 5 goals - in the same division. 1,347 minutes, so a goal every 269 minutes. Clarke-Harris has started 10 times, 7 subs and scored 4 goals. 880 minutes, so 1 goal every 220 minutes. For every goal that Harris & Cole score combined, Afobe has already bagged 2. Methinks you'll miss Afobe more than you think young man. It's ok to be upset fella. Don't hide it, it's not healthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
